The pictures did not reflect what the hotel looks like. Staff was nice but there is no great place for your pets outside to go to the bathroom because it is all parking lot.

This is older (on historical list), but quaint and clean. Love the fireplace and gathering area, breakfast was in a separate dining room. We had the usual in-room amenities, and the front desk gals were really nice. You can walk to a number of restaurants, brew pub, etc, and the new, modern library is almost next door. We would stay again!
